Reports, including here on BSky, that International CRM company Chronicle Heritage has laid off staff at less than 24 hours notice and has entered liquidation. The company, which also operates in the UK and Middle East, has been controlled by private equity firm the Riverside Company since 2021.

Esther Rantzen's life should be remembered not only for highlighting the unsung work of the amazing Nicholas Winton but also for the founding of ChildLine. What a legacy. RIP Dame Esther ❤️

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I much prefer the historically accurate version where the British conquered the world for spices and still couldnt use any of them until the people they stole the spices from went there to show them how to use pepper

So why don't politicians who argue that Britain can't afford benefits advocate putting up the minimum wage to the point where universal credit no longer has to subsidise low-wage employers?

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to

The Daily Telegraph, with its finger on the pulse of the nation, thinks that people taking a packed lunch to work is “pathetic” and a sign of societal collapse; and also thinks that said packed lunch includes sprouts.

Daily Telegraph: MICHAEL DEACON
This pathetic office trend is a damning symbol of Britain's decline.

Picture shows three food containers in a fridge, seemingly representing an office packed lunch. They contain roast potatoes, carrots and sprouts. They’re insane, aren’t they?

The £36m donations are legal and to change the law retrospectively would be outrageous! Yes, it was announced in Parliament on 25 March that the legislation would apply to any donations from that day onwards, but that was the day all Reform MPs staged a walk-out, so we missed it.

It's also worth noting that the £20 million paid to *slave owners* back in the 1830s as their settlement for abolishing slavery (the slaves got nothing) was only fully paid off by British govt in 2015. Yes. *2015* Slavery is not an issue of the past. 2/2 www.bankofengland.co.uk/working-pape...

One more time: Inheritance tax *is not unique or even uncommon* in being "double taxation". The coffee I just bought was paid for with wages on which income tax and NI had been levied, but was also subject to VAT. Just stop it.

And that is less than half our grapes. 16kg being turned into wine. (Bit better than last years two dozen grapes or the year before's two.)

A large paper bag and a large bucket on an overturned normal bucket are filled with freshly picked grapes on a semi-shaded patio.
The dappled shade includes shadows of bunches of grapes still on the vine.
Also on the patio is a 35l rubbish bag.

A rubber ducky sits on to of a huge mound of grapes in a bath.

A bucket (different to the other two) is on a grape juice stained rug and is 3/4 full of washed and de-stalked grapes

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.
